Pennsylvania Dutch Magic

Tonight's episode is about a mythical practice dating back over 300 years that made its way to America thru European, namely German, immigration: that practice is called Pennsylvania Dutch Magic or Braucherei (pronounced "BROY-ker-eye.") It is a Christian folk practice that includes a range of healing rituals used primarily for treating ailments in humans, livestock, and crops, as well as securing physical and spiritual protection. Although it became less visible in the 1920s, Dutch Magic has more recently inspired new religious movements. A folk magic episode just in time for Halloween!
